East Sydney Community and Arts Centre

We’ve transformed what was known as Heffron Hall into a beautiful community and arts centre, with multipurpose spaces for creative use and community hire as well as an interactive artwork called "S(W)ING" that can be moved around by kids young and old!

We have retained heritage features of the original Heffron Hall while adding accessible facilities and more space for community activities in this popular inner city area.

The centre and neighbouring reserve will become a much-loved hub for the East Sydney, providing interesting and inspiring activities for everyone in the heart of our inner city.
